The Distance Between Floors

Seven years ago, Nour Ellison disappeared without saying goodbye.

Zane Ashford never found out why.

Now, seven years later, they're standing on opposite sides of the same conference table, pretending they don't know each other.

She's the CEO of Aurelia Hotels. He's the CEO of Velora Hotels. Their families have spent years fighting for the same title: the most powerful name in Asterra's hospitality industry.

And now, they're being forced to build something together.

Meridian Isle.

A luxury development that could change both their companies forever.

Working together should be simple.

It isn't.

Because beneath the arguments, the competition, and all the things they refuse to talk about, there is a past neither of them has forgotten.

A past that began long before the boardrooms, the hotel empires, and the rivalry.

As strange details surrounding Meridian Isle begin to surface, Nour and Zane are forced to question more than just the project.

Some secrets were buried seven years ago.

And some distances were never meant to be crossed.

A story about ambition, old wounds, unfinished feelings, and the person you thought you'd lost forever.
